Into The Old Man's Shoes Lyrics

Artist: Elton John
Album: Lady Samantha

Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie Taupin

I'm moving out of Tombstone, yeah with the sun behind my backI'm tired of people talking of things that I lackEver since a week ago, the day he passed awayI've been taking too much notice of the things they've had to say

And all they say is you ain't half the man he used to beHe had strength and he worked his life to feed his familySo if that's the way it has to be, I'll say goodbye to youI'm not the guy, or so it seems to fill my old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamedThey'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chainsOh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do Lord, LordThey seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes
